The games have to get their continuity repaired once a decade or so as-is, and Link and Zelda get personality overhauls with each console generation. This is the perfect series to adapt because it's so variable to begin with.

They're canonically different Links and Zeldas though. Ganon is the only constant.

Well, mostly the same Ganon; he was slain and reincarnated in at least one timeline. Even the main incarnation can have his characterization can vary quite a bit, though, such as the more byronic personality seen in Wind Waker compared to the more agressive and brutal depiction in Twilight Princess.
